Death of Charles Painter.-Mr. Charles
Painter died at the residence of his son-in-law,
DIR. Charles G. Hill, at Arlington, Baltimore coun-
ty, on Tuesday last, aged seventy years. Mr..

years ago. At first they conducted business on a
very small scale and sent samples of their cream

An Attempt to Assault a Little Girl.-A

An Attempt to Assault a Little Girl.-A
little daughter of Mr.. Jesse G.. Clayton, living
near Fork, 18th district, had indecent proposals
made to her few weeks ago by rascal named
Robert Maard, citizen of Baltimore, we believe
but who has been living in that neighborhood and
working as a farm hand at several places. The
attempted assault was made at the little girls
home, when her father was absent from the house.
but when her little brothers found out what had
been done, they fred pistol at the scoundre,
without hitting him, however. The father just
getting home when the children were terribly ex
cited, picked up his gun and started after NAL
lard, and on getting in range of him, discharged
one barrel, but unfortunately, without hitting him.
To add insult to the injury already done, Mallard
had the impudence to come to Towsontown and
going before Justice Gideon Herbert, swore his
life against Mr.. Clayton. In the course of few
days Mr.. Clayton came here and gave security
before Justice James Miller, in the sum of 5000
for his appearance at the next term Of Court
The Justice informed Mr.. Clayton that he could
not do otherwise than hold him for Court, but if
he had had his way in the premises, he would not
have exacted security for further hearing. Mr..
Clayton had warrant issued for the arrest of
Mallard, but up to this time he has not been ap-
pretended. lie should be arrested at once for
his indecent actions and brought to Towsontown
and placed in cell in Jail a companion
for the colored man, Jim Jackson, who is await
ing trial for a similar ofense committed a few
weeks ago.

A Destructive Fire.-At an early hour on
Tuesday morning last frame barn on the prop
erty of Mrs. Mary A. Jones, at Calverton, was
destroyed by fire. Several adjoining stables, in
one of which were two horses and several wagons
belonging to S. +. Flagle, were also burned with
their contents, involving loss of about $1,000,
upon which there is no insurance. Three hot
houses near the stables also burned with their
contents. Three of the county engines were
present but were unable to check the flames.

Death Of Well-Known Woman.-The
death of Mrs. Soper, wife of W. Horace Scper, for
a long time secretary and treasurer of the Balti-
more county School Board, forcbly recalls an in
teresting part of the early history of the public
schools of Baltimore county. In the Legislature
of 1917 the Hon. Samuel Brady, father of Samuel
Brady, of the Sd district, was an active and eff
cient member from Baltimore county, and was
mainly instrumental in having law passed at
that session for the establishment of a system of
public schools for the county. He was also pres.
ident of the first Board of School Commissioners,
and in 1S4S he published an advertisement invi-
ting candidates for the position of teachers to sub
NIT themselves to an examination as to their quail
ifcations, &c. Mrs. Soper was the first applicant
examined before committee consisting of Messrs.
J. L. Ridgely, James Cary and Samuel Brady.
Another peculiar incident of interest in connec-
ton with the establishment of the public school
system in the county is the fact that the father of
our excellent Associate Judge, the Hon. David
Fowler, was member of the Legislature of 1S47
from Washington county and an earnest co-worker
with Mr.. Brady in having the public school law
passed for the county. He also succeeded in hav-
ing similar law passed for Washington county
at the same session. So it appears that Washing
ton and Baltimore counties were the pioneers of
that system of public education which is the pride
of the State to-day, and Messrs. Brady and Fow-
Ter are worthy of all honor for the notably con-
spicuous part they took in its establishment.

White Hall, 7th District.-I am glad to say
that Mr.. Thomas Hunter, of whom I wrote some
time ago as having fallen from his porch roof, is
much improved and able to walk about.
Farmers are busy making hay, which, in most
places, is yielding a rich harvest. Wheat was
much better than was expected in the early part
of the season.
The 4th was generally spent in the harvest field
and places of business and ended at night with
fireworks and other amusements.
Rev. S. M. Afford preached very excellent SER

verse, subject "Davids love for the church." The
congregation was large and attentive, many from
the minister's old and first circuit, West Hartford,
being present and were much pleased with his dis
course. Among the audience 1 noticed Prof N.
M. Parrish, of Baltimore, who, with his wife, is
visiting relatives and friends in Baltimore and
Hartford counties. Mrs. Parrish is daughter of
Rev. David Henderson of Baltimore, and a sister
of Mrs. Edward Parrish. 1 don't think there are
many that can count so large number of near
relatives in the two counties as can Mr.. and Mrs.
Parrish.

Nancy Ellen Armstrong, by her counsel,
Mr.. NJ. A. Mulin, has filed n bill in the Circuit
Court here praying divorce from her husband,
John G. Armstrong. The bill charges cruelty,
abandonment, &c. They have ten children living,
nearly all of whom are grown. Armstrong is q
stone-m mason and formerly resided at Texas, Sth
district. The Court passed an order requiring
Armstrong topay $50 for his wife's counsel fec
and also IS per week as alimony.
The Baltimore papers are continuing their
slurs at this place. Among the latest was ram
bling dispatch published in The San, headed
Excitement subsding at Towsontown," purpor-
ting to give some particulars about the negro Jim
Jackson, in Jail here. What constitutes this
Excitement" we are at loss to see. The town
has never been quieter than it has been for the
past two weeks, and if there has been any "excite
ment" here the people don't know it. The resi-
dents of Towsontown should hold an indignation
meeting and denounce the foul ISLANDERS of these
"great" city daies.
The Rev. John Scott, well known minis
ter of the Society Of Friends, died at Oakland,
California, on the 9th inst, in the Goth year of
his age. Mr.. Scott spent the greater part of his
life in Western Run Valley, Baltimore county.
Two of his sons are wealthy business men of San
Francisco and few years ago their father took
up his residence with them. In the last ten years
he made number of trips across the contine mt
and notwithstanding his advanced age did not
mind the fatigue of the journey. He was re-
markable old gentleman and was greatly beloved
by all who knew him. The wife of Mr.. Edwin
Scott, of Western Run Valley, is daughter of
the deceased.
For several hours on Saturday night por-
ton of our coored population-men and women
made Towsontown perfect pandemonium with
their dsorderly conduct, and the officer who
ceives S25 month to see that the peace is pre-
served, made no effort to put stop to the dis
graceful proceedings This is getting to be a
serious matter and the lawabiding portion of the
community have right to demand that something
be done to put stop to it. The people have
right to expect that when man is paid to perform
certain duties that he will give his attention to
them, and unless he does so they also have right
to demand that he give up the position in favor of
some one who will. We call upon the County
Commissioners to give some attention to this mat
ter as an indignant community have been i'm
nosed nnon entirely too long already.

ST. LOUIS, May 31.-A special from
Brownsville, Texas, says: At dawn Sun
day morning the Balsa cut off on Mexican
territory, but on the north side of the river,
the refuge Of about thirty bandits, was
raided by the forces IF Sheriff BretO and
Deputy Clausner of Hidalgo, with about
fifty rangers, drove out the bandits who
met with a. warm reception on the other
side by detachment of the Third cavalry
under Col Wieves Hernandez. A sharp
fight ensued in which Col. Hernandez was
wounded in the hand one of his men killed
and another wounded, and number were
captured Several of the latter, we'll
known murderers, were executed on the
spot A large amount of stolen stock was
found, most of which was returned to
owners. On account of the dense brush a
number of noted criminals made their es-
cape. The blow, however, is severe one
to the criminal element which had
gathered in these cut offs, ripe for revolu
tionary plots. robbery and plumber and
safe, as they believe. from pursuit.
